Growing up means:
Saying goodbye,
Goodbye to the naptime,
so taken for granted.
Goodbye to nothing big,
or important, or serious to keep track of.
And saying goodbye as you are taken,
taken from what you didn't know you had.
Growing up also means:
Saying hello to jobs and
not enough time in the day.
As well as a lot bigger expectations.
And a longing for the past.
What a powerful (and so true) line: "taken from what you didn't know you had." The image you chose fits perfectly.
